<p>Life is full of big moments, but there is one moment that is of supreme importance</p>

<p>Life is full of big moments&mdash;first steps, graduation, wedding., first
child, job promotion, first grandchild, anniversaries. As big and exciting as
all of these are, there is one moment that is even bigger and more
momentous.</p>

<p>When a person trusts Jesus as Savior and surrenders to Him as Lord, it is a
HUGE moment! From death to life, from slavery to freedom, from guilt to grace,
from shame to redemption&hellip; it all happens in that moment. By God's grace,
we get to celebrate that big moment in a big way. It's called baptism.</p>

<p>This Sunday, we celebrate that moment with Baptism On the Lawn. As of today,
24 people are going to be baptized, and there are several others that could be
added by the end of the week. Even if it was just one it would be a big deal,
but 24? That's a really big deal!</p>

<p>NRHC family make plans to be there Sunday at 5:00pm. Bring your lawn chairs
or blankets, a side dish or dessert to share, and drinks for your family. This
will be a great time to invite friends and family as well. We'll be grilling out
and have tons of fun things happening. But the best part will be celebrating new
life for all those who are baptized!</p>

<p>If you are interested in being baptized, there is still time to jump in.
Check out our <a href="<?= url('next-steps/baptism') ?>">baptism page</a> to get
started. Do it quickly so we can follow-up with you and get everything set
before Sunday.</p>

<p>I can't wait to celebrate with you Sunday morning and Sunday night. Have a
great week and I will see you Sunday! </p>

<p>Until All Hear,<br> Jay</p>
